UC Next Seminar Series is starting this Spring.

These seminars will be hosted online via Zoom. RSVP to receive the zoom link by emailing info@bioengineering.ucsb.edu.

Zoom will open after the host has joined at the start of each seminar. You can ask questions through the chat forum and by raising your "hand" and the speaker will call on you. 

UC NEXT Seminar Series is a UC-Wide initiative launched through UCSB's Biological Engineering Current Topics in Bioengineering seminar series at UCSB. This one quarter seminar series will feature virtual research talks presented by rising PhD students and postdocs in Bioengineering.
